v13.0.0: New creator dashboard, product trashing, backup generation, category icons

16 November 2025

New Features:

- Added new "creator dashboard". The creator & admin dashboards have been split into separate dashboards.
Here's a brief list of reasons why this change was made:
- Accessing the admin panel no longer requires creating a store.
- Products, coupon codes, licenses and transactions can be easily scoped to the user: On the creator dashboard, you only see your items. On the admin dashboard, you see anyone's items. This eliminates the need for the "My Store" and "All Stores" tabs.
- It makes it easier to control the permissions.
- Simplifies development, since we no longer have to worry about scoping everything to the tenant (in this case the vendor).
- Makes a dedicated spot for non vendor-scoped items, like store-wide settings, logs, gateways and API tokens.
- Does not ever allow normal users into the admin dashboard, reducing the risk of unintended privilege escalation.
- Adds a distinct design to the user dashboard and does not break the user out of the overall store design language, like the old combined dashboard did.
- The code base is simpler as a result, which inherently means faster & better development.
INFO: The watermark removal addon now applies for the watermarks under the main page (publicly accessible) and in the creator dashboard (accessible to sellers on your page).
The admin panel has an irremovable product name + version watermark, but it *does not link* to the product page and simply displays a version.
- Products in the store now utilize soft deletes, which allow for recovery of deleted products from the admin panel. You may choose to permanently delete products from there as well.
- In the admin panel, choose "Filters" -> "With deleted records" to view soft-deleted products, and restore them or force delete them.
- You might need to add the `products.restore` and `products.force-delete` permission to your roles if they were made before this update.
- Some actions formerly available in the admin panel have been moved and are now only available in the creator dashboard, because of their irrelevancy to administrative management. These features include:
- Importing from BuiltByBit
- Similarly, some actions previously unavailable in the admin panel have been reinstated (or added). These include:
- Deleting products from table view
- Restoring and force-deleting soft-deleted products
- Added automatic **backup generation**. This backup contains the app state + a database dump. They are saved in the `storage/private/store-backups` directory and regenerated every day at 01:30am of your configured timezone.
- Added category icons and redesigned category navigation.
- Added "Recent Transactions" table widget to the creator dashboard.

Fixes & Changes:

- Removed redundant duplicate classes in `app.css` files.
- Fixed logs file cutting off some content at the end.
- GET /api/register will now redirect to /, which will avoid the possibility of a 405 error when refreshing the page after registering.
- Removed redundant `info.view` and `theme.edit` permission flags.
- Addon products, if hidden, no longer have a link to their page.
- Minor changes to the "check your inbox" text after registration.
